Description

ReSharper shows immediate members in bold. I'm not sure that's my favorite way to style it, but it is an effective way to know what's important beyond the top 5 members starred by IntelliCode. A great example of this is to dot off a bunch of Roslyn syntax classes and see how easy it is to scroll through and identify every new member that is available versus the glut of members and extension methods inherited from SyntaxNode.

Maybe "immediate" (non-base) members could be normal and base members could be a light font weight or very slightly faded?

A filter toggle could be an alternative, though I'm not sure I'd prefer that.

ReSharper: I know exactly what this type has to offer

Visual Studio: I'm going to have to peer at the whole list while scrolling through and comparing against my memory of the base type
